What are the absolute don’ts of a CV that would leave a bad impression on the employer?

I’m working a full-time job and I’m also a student. How should I plan my schedule to manage studies and professional life?

It is very tough to be doing both, but it is also not impossible. If you are a full-time student you would either have classes in the evenings or on the weekends. A good way of managing your routine would be to at least take one hour out each day to study. This can also be during your lunch break, in the morning or in the evening, whatever suits you. But making one hour for your studies will give you some discipline and will also help you retain whatever you are studying in class.
